HOOVER, Alabama – Aldridge Gardens today canceled its “Whispers From the Past” Native American festival that was scheduled for Sunday.

“We have vendors and performers coming from all over the state, and with only a few rain-free hours forecast, we did not feel the attendance would support the costs,” Weaver wrote.

The annual festival, which was scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., was to have included colorful performances by the Sylestine Legacy dancers, Indian drum and flute performances, stories about the history and traditions of native Alabamians, demonstrations of authentic basket making, hunting, fishing and traditional cooking methods, and temporary “tattoos” from authentic Moundville Indian tattoo patterns.
